I stayed here for a few nights before flying out of the Gold Coast airport. I chose this location because of the airport ( 5 minute walk!!) but did not find it too out of the way like some other reviews. there is a 4 times daily free shuttle to Rainbow Bay Beach, Snapper Rocks and Tweed Heads.I also took the bus to Surfers Paradise about an hour away on public transit. Cleaning needs to be improved- a colony of flies flew in and died in the washroom overnight and were not cleaned until after noon the next day- but otherwise a good stay.

Room Tip: You may want to ask for a room not facing the airport. Not sure if its quieter on that side, but you can definately hear the planes on the side closest to the airport.

The hostel is a bit out of town but there is a free shuttle service from the hostel several times a day and there are also regular public buses. If you're using the airport this place is ideal - literally 5 minutes' walk away. Free breakfast is included, as well as free tea and coffee at any time. There is a good kitchen and nice communal/dining area. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we felt at ease here. There was a TV area with lots of sofa, ideal for relaxing in front of a film. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.

Convenient for airport and beach, but a bit "out of town". Regular busses into town, but rather expensive. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Good facilities - clean and comfortable. Very good value with breakfast included. Well recomended.

My partner and I recently stayed in a 2 person room for a weekend on the GC - reason we booked it was price and location (needed to be close to Coolangatta). After calling around, the price for a double room at this YHA was far cheaper than the other hostels & B&Bs in the area. The bonus was that the price also included a continental breakfast, so that was great!

Since we had a car, location was acceptable as the drive to Greenmount/Snapper was < 10min. We went for food just a short walk (< 5min) and the pub was decent with good beer prices. I will use this place again if I have flights out of the GC as it is literally walking distance from the GC Airport.The hostel itself was fine and had a nice tv, a number of couches, and a games room that included pool and ping pong! The layout provides a number of common areas which is a plus. Many hostels I've been to will only have one or two common areas and I feel this can lead to cramped space.The room was fine and it was nice to see a fan in the room. Although it was winter and we didn't need it, that was another good feature that would come in handy when staying there in the warmer months.

Overall, I was satisfied with my stay there and I will recommend it to my friends flying in and out of the GC.
